Hiring: Summer Interns

Iron is hiring two internship positions for this summer. Details below!

Graphic Design Intern

We are seeking a digital-focused student designer to extend our small team’s capacity for summer 2019. This student’s portfolio should be focused on branding and website ui/ux. We expect our student interns to have a confident understanding of what a brand is today as well as an eagerness to develop their ui/ux process and understanding. Our workflow is fast and we will teach our interns to prioritize effectively. You can expect to touch on 1-3 projects any given day. This is a full-time position based in Ithaca NY at our studio.

Our process involves deep research and design exploration, well-informed design thinking, and flawless presentations to clientele. Our interns will have a hand in the work we put in front of our wonderful clients. Student designers who love data and research and who still believe in the power of sketching past your first, second, and third idea will fit in well at our studio.

Great time management; able to arrive to work on time every day and adhere to project deadlines

Ability to speak clearly about one’s work with an emphasis on the problem(s) solved and specific examples of said solutions (This is something we will help students develop further!)

To Apply

Our formal job posting is on Handshake. We welcome students to login with their Handshake account to apply there. Otherwise, please submit a cover letter, resume, and an online portfolio url, or digital pdf portfolio that includes 5-10 pieces of your best work to kim-at-irondesign.com. A follow-up interview will be mandatory to finalize the process (preferably in-person interviews).

Marketing Strategist/Business Development Intern

Iron Design is in search of a highly-motivated, data-loving, marketing strategist/business development intern to add to our small team this summer. This person will be tasked with helping grow our creative agency’s online presence and book of business, all while honing in some real-world marketing strategy, data analysis and business development skills of their own. This must be someone who is quick-to-learn, eager-to-grow, and who has a strong interest in building a career in the marketing industry.

Our summer session starts in early June and runs through late August (11 weeks), with a weekly commitment of 20 hours/week. We are able to be flexible with start/end dates but feel that the hourly commitment is fair and gives students the most valuable experience during their time with us while still being able to enjoy a gorgeous summer in Ithaca.
